Organisation Structure

take over of the organisation structure from Human Resources by interface

company region business unit, department subdepartment plant

take over of the personal data

business code, address name of person in charge telephone number, Email-Adress location

Organisation – Start Screen

Personel

Interface to Human Ressources

information on the employees of a plant

Definition of the Homogenous Exposure Group (HEG)

Also manually input possible, e. g. contractors

information on their function

(plant manager, supervisor, shift worker,

administrator, maintanance, lab person)

Time Management

Control measurements scheduling list of the control measurements to a defined date in

the future

list can divided per industrial hygienist

List of work areas with missed deadlines

date can be individually defined, e. g. 3 months

Calculation of the date of the control measure-ment in relation of the exposure as an sugges-tion of the program, can individually changed

Monitoring Dates

Start of a Project

copy an former project

start from the beginning on

Different possibilities:

Color Legend

Start of a Project

Choose Type of the Project

noise

climate

light

External measurement

Equipment, Methods Method(s) for measuring the substances

if different methods exists, drop-down menu

different methods for shift measurements and short-time measurements

sampling description for every method method (tube, dust-vapour method, impinger, gasket) flow-rate maximum sampling duration maximum storage duration after sampling detection limit analytical lab costs of analysis

Equipment List

Agent List The following properties / units of a substance

are stored in the program

Identification

(name, synonyms, CAS-No., SAP-No.)

OEL

(historical, can be selected from the international "ARIEL-list" by interface: TWA, STEL, Ceiling)

splitted values (different limit values for different working areas): selection by drop down menu

Summarization group (has to be added in, no limitations)

Measurement lab responsible

Cost per analysis

Measurement plan

Default: plan of the last measurement as a suggestion for the new project

For planning of the next measurement:

method for every substance with all relevant parameters tasks

List for every project with all necessary equipment

pumps absorption system measuring plan for those in charge of the plant with all

relevant information

Example – Measurment Plan

Exposure Measurement

standardised tasks in the program

Tasks

Data sheets to determine the exposure situation during the measurement ("time-study")

form sheet is implemented

Tasks, realized by BASF (phrases)

Exchanging pumps

Coating

Grinding

insulation work

Maintenance

Waste disposal

Load / unload tank truck /

tank wagon

Analysis

if different methods available: select from drop-down menu

All measurement methods are stored in the program

Transmission of the substances for analysis with all parameters to the lab per interface

identification of the sample by a bar code

For cost calculation all analytical costs are included the system

Combine Measurements The Time-Weighted Average concentration can be

calculated from individual measurements

Measurement 1 Measurement 2

Assessment

Automatic creation of the assessment (customizing) default calculation, can be changed individually

implemented in Germany:- permanent safe limit (c << 25 % of TLV)- safe limit (25 < c < TLV)

Calculation of the multiple-substance index dependent of the 'summation group' of the compound

calculation of every HEG

Calculation of the next contro -measurement date

default calculation, can be changed individually

Information on the People in Charge

Written information on the people in charge

department leader

plant manager

health department

representatives of the unions, in case of over exposure

in a standardised version,

with email or,

with letter.
